An incredible couple of days with 200 sector leaders launching our new Flourishing Leaders and Flourishing Teachers programmes! Amazing feedback and soooo many trusts, dioceses, schools and colleges joining for Autumn 2025 start! ❤️🌱🌳🙏🚀

A perfect breakfast read. We’re off to North Wales this weekend to walk the hills with our kids. It’s not a school trip, it’s a retreat. We will come back as better people. Thanks @ianfrost28.bsky.social

Such an amazing few days at our National Society for Education Flourishing Leaders and teachers conference - so much enthusiasm for what we want to achieve together! We need to move from being on the “edge” to creating a movement of change! Such a privilege to be in a room with so much expertise.

Beautiful, lyrical, transcendent writing from Ian as ever- highly recommended. Love the way you think and express the deeper thinking we all need to flourish. Personally so grateful to be on the journey with you 🌱🌳🙏

We’ve designed this course with the brilliant @jolomax.bsky.social - combining expertise to create a model that enables greater flex on the ground. It is possible to deliver national frameworks in a contextualised way. We’re also building capacity through GMET colleagues facilitating and coaching.

Absolutely loved delivering NPQLTD today. Such a brilliant cohort - so committed to doing the best for teachers in their schools. Feeling very inspired after a day in their company.

Loved leading the NPQLTD coaching session tonight. Such thoughtful input and reflections from participants across our schools.

Great to see our ‘Flourishing Teacher Programme’ taking shape - all ready to pilot in Autumn 2025. If you’re a school or trust leader who knows there must be a better way…get in touch. 🌱 🌳

Speeding up today with some stride repeats in the cold. 🚀 💨 Garmin Coach training plan seems to be working… #edurunners

I’m so inspired by the work and am looking forward to contributing more we move forward

Such an inspiring day working with the CofE dream team on teacher development programs. There IS a way we can do things better.

Superb day with @samgibbs.bsky.social @samtwiselton.bsky.social & Haili Hughes hashing out the conceptual thinking behind “flourishing teacher programmes” lots of meaningful conversation,with a healthy bucket load of challenge and critical thinking! Excited to begin bringing this to life!

Brilliant session with Sir Anthony Seldon today on AI, future of education system with our fabulous diocese directors of education. Thinking hard, and lifting eyes above the binary arguments of the short-term. 👍

I’m really interested to connect with experienced, strong track record executive coaches who are working in non-education sectors - business, other public sectors - with experience of coaching CEOs/senior leaders in large/growing organisations - ideally in the UK, but also internationally.🇬🇧 🌍 📈🚀

If you’re an ITT lead or ECF mentor? Or you control the reading lists needed for teachers- I will happily send you a free copy of my book as I believe after you read it you’ll accept everybody should! Bit.ly/amjadalibook Get in touch! :)

Fairly depressing for the UK education system if this piece of basic maths intervention is deemed necessary in Sainsburys! 🙈

Awesome night in the Champions League for #avfc - automatic qualification secured for the next round!! 🙌 Unbelievable - Villa have done it!!! 🏆

Highly recommend people read this example of the fantastic work (and significant challenges) of schools to support children and their families, particularly in areas of high deprivation. 'We don't just teach - we clothe the kids, feed them and brush their teeth' www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good to get out even if windy and rainy! 🏃‍♂️ Still super close to 1/2 marathon PB- annoyingly 8 seconds off! Not bad going for such a 🌧️ 🥶 day….also found cool graffiti by the canal 👍 #edurunners

Personal news for any #nottingham friends…have just put our house on the market! 😮 Anyone looking for a nice family home ready to move into..drop me a message! 👍 Full deets at lnkd.in/equ5Yq-v Please share Nottingham friends! 🙏 The house where all our CofE education docs were written! 😜

Amazing experience looking for a car with my daughter who just passed her test…! We turn up at a Nottingham garage only to find it’s run by 2 of my former pupils! I used to teach them a few years back - now they’re running a great car business! 🙌 Great coincidence, catch up, and buy a car too!❤️

Beautiful and honest piece of really provocative and encouraging thinking here - focused on asking the right questions about ourselves as humans not just job title holders. Really drawn to the implications for governors/trustee relationships with senior exec staff to give permission👇👇

Great to be partnering with @leoracruddas.bsky.social CST on our new Flourishing Leaders programmes as we seek to re-imagine education as a career in which an adult could expect to flourish…🌱🌳 👇👇👇

Such a joy to have launched all of this new work with 500+ leaders at our National Conference this week! 🎉🥳🤩 Huge thanks for all this dozens of school trusts, dioceses, TSHs who have already got involved in our programme pilots for flourishing leaders and teachers 👍 👇👇👇

Such an important piece with so many exciting things yet to come …!

Change is coming! Time to flourish together 💪

This is brilliant! We achieve so much for our pupils and communities in a system which is difficult and fraught with challenge. I’m imagining what we could achieve in a system where our adults were flourishing. #proudtoteach #bettertogether

"We need to embrace new mental models of leadership" if we are to move forward together at this crucial point for education. Ask 'How do children & young people, & those who educate them in our schools, flourish?' @leoracruddas.bsky.social of @cstvoice.bsky.social at #SNEAcademies25

It was so good to welcome education leaders from across the country to share in this rich feast of talks, workshops and worship together.

“A system where teachers and leaders flourish creates the conditions for young people to achieve their full potential.” This week saw the launch of the Flourishing Leaders Framework at our 7th annual Education Conference. Read more at cofe.io/FlourishingLeaders.
